That book is full of misinformation, for example he cites the Johnson & Daviss study saying «any remaing doubts about the safety of

Researchers reported
high overall perinatal mortality in a study of

home birth, 23 24 but the studies were not of sufficient size to provide relatively stable perinatal death rates.
And more importantly, rather than just comparing
home vs hospital overall, it compared midwife - led vs OB - led

Out - of - hospital
births were also associated with a
higher rate of unassisted vaginal delivery and lower rates of obstetrical interventions and NICU admission than in - hospital
births, findings that corroborate the results of earlier studies.3 - 5 These associations follow logically from the more conservative approach to intervention that characterizes the midwifery model of care8, 19 and from the fact that obstetrical interventions are either rare (e.g., induction of labor) 20 or unavailable (e.g., cesarean delivery, whether
at home or
at a
birth center) outside the hospital setting.
